Beautification as a modality for revolution - Luigi, Jesus and Che Guevara

Season 3 Episode 2


Why I think Luigi may have been a chosen figure to face the court trial and why a “pretty face” is often chosen to symbolize a movement. Something that I didn’t discuss is how whether intentionally or not, the male grooming of Luigi by fellow inmates is also helping the cause by further “beautifying” him which further makes me think that he is not an intended sole actor (someone who could build camaraderie with fellow inmates so fast that they advocate for his release on national television, did not charm others into building a network of support before his carefully thought out plan? I do not think so). Obviously his crime is alleged and condolences to everyone who has died. This a theoretical exploration that I connect to other manifestations of this phenomenon such as the Beautification of Christ and my loose theory that Che Guevara’s place as a face of the communist movement is also partially a result of his looks. Dear US government, if you are listening, don’t worry I don’t like terrorism, I am merely analyzing what I perceive to be historical trends. Any perceived excitement on my end is purely intellectual excitement. Merry Christmas everyone btw!
